    Loosing Feathers

    I have two Isa Brown hens both 20 months old, Sugar and Spice. They are inseparable and both good layers. Sugar has her white under-feathers exposed on the front edges of both her wings. See photos. It appears some of her feathers there had broken off. She has been looking like this for a...
